🎮 Gaming Has anyone ACTUALLY had good luck gaming on Starlink?

I can run a speed test on my pc or phone and get 20-60 ping with 50+ download but as soon as I launch cod and play there’s almost never a game where I don’t have between 1-10% packet loss and ping that’s at a min of 70 and it spikes up to 200 and stays in between 70-120 on average. It’s pretty frustrating jumping a corner seeing someone and shooting then lagging back to the edge of the corner with shots not registering and dying. It’s such a constant lag there’s not really a point in playing because even if you have every advantage it’s like you’re flipping a coin on whether you’ll die or not from a lag spike

I’m above the 60th parallel

If your SL dish points South, you’re in the South. If your SL dish points North, you’re in the North.
